WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO SETUP YOUR HOST ACCOUNT:

Your RSS feed

So, we can pull the data for your show, such as your show description and categories.

  • To find your RSS feed on Spreaker, go to your podcast's page on the Content Management System, then on the left side, click "RSS Settings" - your RSS feed will be displayed there and you can copy it directly from the screen.

Your public and personal bios

This will allow us to make more personalized scripts for your ads. Offer information you are OK sharing in ad scripts, like pets, family, hobbies, etc. The more information you share the better the scripts will match your content.

Finally, your voice recordings in MP3 format

You will need around 90-seconds of clean, quality, recording of your voice. The better the recording the better the match. Usually, 2-3 ads you have done previously. Or you can make a new recording by reading any script. Be sure there is no background noise, music, or other voices.

Now you are ready to go to the ekoz.ai sign up portal.

Step ONE

Step THREE

Click “Next.”

Choose the target gender of your show and the target age group.

Show categories should be auto filled.

Check the box if your show contains explicit content.

Select sensitive content and check any categories that are relevant to the content of your show. DO NOT CHECK ANY IF YOUR SHOW DOES NOT CONTAIN SENSITIVE CONTENT AS LISTED.

Check the box if you want ads automatically approved. If you opt out of this feature, you will be prompted to approve or decline campaigns.

Choose your gross CPM that an advertiser must bid to run ads on your podcasts. Note: The lower the CPM you enter, the more likely you will fill your ad inventory.

Click “Submit.”

You will are now at your ekoz.ai dashboard podcast page and you will receive a verification email. Once you verify your account you are ready to receive ad campaigns.

If you have more than one show that you host, click “add” and create another podcast profile. You can match the show to the voice you have already created. If you have more than one host in your organization you can set up a new eko for each host and align it with the associated podcast show. Now you can manage all of your podcasts in this single dashboard.

Here you can make edits to your profile, voiceprint, or organization. You can monitor campaigns, impressions, hear and approve or decline ads.

Step TWO

Enter the name of your organization and invite any users you would like via email.

Click “Next.”

Select your hosting platform - At this time ekoz.ai supports Spreaker and Triton/Omny.

For Triton/Omny enter your station ID.

Now choose the voice profile to use if it exists, or create a new one. To create your new voiceprint eko click on “add.”

Fill in the name associated with the voice and the email if they/you will be approving ads.

Choose your accent and gender for better tuning of your eko.

  • Note some accents are in beta. Contact support if you need assistance.

Paste or type in your public bio and your personal bio for personalized ad scripting.

Click “Next.”
